The Angus/Talon Youth Educational Learning Program Internship is a valuable learning experience for both interns and host ranches. Through this program, interns get the chance to gain more knowledge of the beef industry encouraging them to join the industry in the future. Angus breeders host and mentor an intern who learns the ropes of their beef cattle operation. 

The Talon Internship program is a phenomenal opportunity for youth to learn firsthand about managing and operating day-to-day life on a ranch, and, in turn, participating host ranches get the opportunity to have a hand in mentoring the next generation.

College sophomores, juniors and seniors, along with graduate students, under the age of 25 majoring in an agricultural related field of study will be eligible to serve in this internship.

Host breeders will get the opportunity to teach a young enthusiast different roles in the Angus industry. Internship duties, depending on the host breeder’s program, for example, may include tasks that range from helping prepare show cattle, artificial insemination, pregnancy checking, veterinary tasks, as well as fence maintenance, irrigation and more. Interns have the opportunity to participate in other Angus and beef cattle educational events and activities off the farm such as conferences, field days, etc.

Intern applications due December 1. 
Host applications due October 31.
